Underground Jungle
The Underground Jungle is a dense network of small caverns, composed primarily of Mud, pools of Water, Thorny bushes, and Bee Hive traps. It is located below the surface of the Jungle biome, and extends through the entire Cavern layer until stopping at The Underworld.
The Underground Jungle always contains the Jungle Temple and three to seven Bee Hive mini-biomes (depending on world size).
Common treasure rooms are Jungle Shrines, Underground Cabins, and Living Mahogany Trees.
In addition to its own unique enemies, Underground Jungle also spawns all of the Underground and Cavern enemies in itself as well.
In Hardmode, all enemies have a chance of dropping a Jungle Key.
Furthermore, the Underground Jungle undergoes several minor changes throughout the course of Hardmode:
- Upon entering Hardmode, it becomes prone to being converted by the Evil biome and starts spawning Chlorophyte Ore.
- After defeating one mechanical boss, Life Fruit begin spawning.
- Once all three mechanical bosses have been defeated, Plantera's Bulbs begin spawning.
